Correction and Retraction
If an error is identified in a published article, authors, readers, or other concerned parties are encouraged to notify the Editorial Team and provide relevant details or supporting evidence. The Editorial Team will assess the reported issue to determine whether a correction or other editorial action is necessary. Corrections may be issued when an identified error affects the accuracy, clarity, or completeness of an article but does not invalidate its principal findings or conclusions. Where a correction is warranted, the journal will publish an appropriate correction notice that identifies the original article, describes the relevant changes, and maintains a clear link between the correction and the published version.

If concerns arise that substantially undermine the reliability or integrity of a published article, the journal may conduct further assessment and consider additional measures, including an expression of concern or retraction, in accordance with its Corrections and Retractions Policy.

All post-publication comments, responses, and correction requests will be evaluated by the Editorial Team based on their academic relevance, supporting evidence, and implications for the integrity of the published work. Where necessary, the journal may consult the original authors, independent experts, or relevant institutions before reaching a decision. The journal reserves the right to decline submissions that are unsupported by evidence, irrelevant to the scholarly discussion, defamatory, or inconsistent with its editorial policies. All decisions will be made impartially and with due consideration for academic freedom, professional conduct, and the rights of the parties involved.
